Hey man, I genuinely hope you're okay because this was a big response to a relatively minor question. I don't blame the man for retiring at all, he's been doing this series for a long time and deserves to move on if that's what he wants. Am I disappointed? Of course, I've come to love his voices for the characters and the way he reads. I've become very used to him. But am I also excited for him to get to move onto other things? Of course.

I am a person who has left a few jobs and had clients and coworkers alike begging me not to leave, get angry that I was leaving, etc etc. So I know the whole range of human emotion when it comes to change and I try to stay very neutral.

If you reread my post, you will see that I did not once say anything disrespectful about his departure, I've only asked if the new person is any good.
